Definitions
- This application relates to a sealing grommet for sealing between the walls of a terminal housing, and a sealed compressor shell.
- Compressors are known and typically include a motor driving a compressor pump unit within a sealed shell.
- the shell is typically sealed, as refrigerant circulates within the shell to cool the motor. Even though the shell is sealed, an electric connection must still extend into the shell to supply power to the motor.
- connection through the shell must be adequately sealed, and the arrangement of a terminal housing and compressor shell has made this a challenge.
- a sealed compressor has an electric motor received within a hermetically sealed shell.
- the electric motor drives a compressor pump unit.
- An electric connection provides electric power to the motor.
- a terminal housing is mounted on the shell, with a terminal plug for supplying electrical power from outside of the shell into a connector within the shell.
- a grommet is at an opening in the shell which allows passage of the electric connection from the terminal plug to the electric connector.
- the grommet has a first surface positioned on an opposed side of a wall of a housing spaced from the shell, and a second surface sealing against the shell.
- the grommet has an interior portion allowing passage of the electrical connections from the terminal plug into the electric connector within the shell.
- FIG. 1 shows an electric terminal connection through a sealed compressor shell.
- FIG. 2 is a top view of a first embodiment grommet.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view through the FIG. 2 grommet.
- FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment grommet.
- FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment grommet.
- FIG. 1 shows a sealed compressor 20 incorporating a compressor pump unit 22 and an electric motor 24 .
- a shell 26 defines an interior which is sealed against fluid leakage. Refrigerant typically flows around the motor 24 within the shell 26 . Electric power must be supplied to the motor 24 , and an electric connector 28 is shown inward of the shell 26 .
- a terminal connection 29 is shown extending from a terminal plug 31 which is connected within a fence or housing 42 .
- a cable 30 plugs into an end of the terminal connection 31 outwardly of the housing 42 .
- a hole 33 allows the terminal plug 31 to exit the housing.
- a cover 46 is shown bolted at 200 to the housing at an ear 204 and hole 202 in cover 46 .
- a grommet 32 provides a fluid tight seal between the housing 42 and the shell 26 . As shown, the grommet 32 has ears 44 sitting outwardly of an end of the housing 42 , and an end 36 which seals against the shell 26 .
- a spring 50 is schematically biasing the terminal plug 46 to maintain the connection between connector 28 and pin 29 .
- Grommet 32 is shown in a top view in FIG. 2 . As shown, a bore 103 is hollow, and allows electrical connections to pass through. An upper circular portion 102 sits against the terminal plug (see FIG. 1 ) to provide a seal against the plug. An outer portion 104 sits outwardly of the terminal plug 42 to provide a seal.
- a lower portion 106 sits within a bore through the compressor shell 26 . As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the portion 106 extends further than does the portion 104 . The portion 104 sits inwardly of the housing 42 , and the portion 106 sits flush with the compressor shell 26 .
- Cutout portions 108 surround holes 109 for the bolts which will connect the terminal housing to the shell.
- an embodiment 132 of the grommet has a hollow interior bore, portion 116 which sits within the compressor shell, portion 110 which sits inwardly of the terminal box, and portion 102 which sits upwardly into the terminal plug. Notches 112 allow the passage of bolts.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment 198 , wherein the bore is sealed by a portion 200 , but pin holes 202 are formed through the grommet for passage of the connecting pin.
- the spring 50 is shown schematically, however, details of the spring are better disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/178,616, filed on even date herewith, and entitled “Secure Connection Terminal for Hermetic Compressor.”
- the cable is better disclosed in co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 13/178,568, filed on even date herewith, and entitled “Terminal Connection for Sealed Compressor,” now U.S. Pat. No. 8,328,566, issued Dec. 11, 2012.
